    Takata recall. This is a 2008 vehicle its 10 years old .....this recall has been years and there is no remedy. I drive my 81 year old mother around and am fearful for her safey. Sitting in the back seat is not a solution. I want it resolved immediately, i have waited long enough. Ford should fix it or replace my vehicle with a safe one.

    Takata airbags. We have been told to not allow anyone to ride in the passanger seat. This makes the car very unusable. Ford has no idea when replacement bags will be available. They have offered no loaner car. I want to disconnect the troublesome airbag so we can use the car. No damage yet.
